she left him; that he has not been serv.
ed with any papers in a divorce case.
and that he has not been offered monev
or any other cons deration to consars
to a divorce. Ernest is still employed
as a conductor on the Sixth ayenua
surface road, as he was when Victoria
left him, and he has no intention Of
hunting her up, as he believes she il in
the custody of her parents. He does not
wish her to live with him, he saws. nm.
less she is happy in his company.
Ever since Ernest eIoped with his
fair mistress and was brought to the
public's attention. he apparently has
never allowed himself to be carried
away by the remarkable Circumstances
which have surrounded him. An Amer.
lean or a Frenchman who had run
away with a millionaire's daughter
would doubtless have gone straightway
to the finest hotel in the country and
lived or the best which the landlord
could provide. Ernest before taking
the final step, went in a most ordinary
manner to his clearinghouse and paid
a small board bill. Then he brought
his bride to the common little beer sa-
loon of his s~tepfather, in this city, and
there they had a wedding feast on
schwitzerkase. 1t was the same way
when Victoria deserted him. He fol-
lowed up what clews presented them
selves as to her whereabouts, and went
back to work as usual the next day.
The room they had occupied together,
convenient to the Casino where she
sang, were given up, and Ernest re-
moved to a furnished room in the Cort-
landt house directly opposite the street.

by a fellow-conductor named Watkins.
The men pay S. a week between them
for the room. The walls are cheaply
papered and decorated with chromos,
and a bureau, a washstand, and two or
three chairs are scattered about the
floor. When the weather is unusually
cold a fire is built in a little sheet-iron
stove. Ernest works from 6 o'clock in
the morning until the same hour at
night, and is considered an agreeable,
good natured fellow among his associ-
ates.
Mrs. Semken. the landlady OF the
house, is a quiet little German woman
who exercises a mothcrly supervision
over her household and tries to make
things as homelike as possible. she
has a pleasant sitting-room with an
